My spring break vacation was not exciting or very significant. I spent most of my time hanging out with friends, trying to catch up on stuff, having fun, doing research, learning programming languages, making 3D models, and last but not least collaborating with a few of my programmer friends on some interesting ideas in terms of new features and functionality…
I also spent significant time brainstorming on a few different web systems that I’m working on, conceptual system design stage — use cases, UI sketches, interactivity, functionality, etc…
Spent a bit of time talking with a few professors from the Baruch Environmental Group about a couple of projects that they are planning to start doing over the summer and what kind of equipment they need for field experiments.
I also caught up on “beauty sleep.” One day i slept for 24 hour…. Awesome, but then my body hurt for half a day and then i stayed up for 36 hours straight… Working on different stuff, watching Tech seminars online, etc.
I also was working on a game structure and design which is a sort of a hybrid between a classic strategy game, economic mastery, and, of course, scientific know-how. I was looking at different ways to make a “lite” version of this game as my semester project for C++ class… Turns out it is very difficult to water it down and now I’m faced with the reality of doing something else…really don’t want to do another financial application dealing with stocks and stuff…it’s been done over and over again and it is the same thing…
So, now i have to figure out what it is i will do for my semester project…
